The face behind the Future Renew campaign—and why her presence matters
(By Carmichael Phillip)
What’s the new No7 commercial all about?
No7 has recently launched a series of fresh television spots featuring sleek cinematography, glowing skin close‑ups, and messaging around reversing visible signs of aging. The hero of the campaign is seen gently applying No7’s Future Renew Day Cream and Derm Solutions products, emphasizing both scientific innovation and real results. The tagline—“Stop the cycle. Rehab your skin.”—hints at a holistic approach to skincare.
Who’s the actress? It’s Elizabeth Banks
The polished, relatable woman in this campaign isn’t a newcomer—she’s Elizabeth Banks, the acclaimed American actress, director, and producer. Banks became the first U.S. celebrity ambassador for No7 in 2023, fronting the brand’s major campaigns, including Future Renew and Lift & Luminate, across TV, online, and in-store collateral.
An iSpot.tv snapshot confirms the commercial is indeed Bank’s No7 “Peptide Technology” spot, clocking tens of thousands of national airings.
Why Elizabeth Banks? No7 explains the pitch
When No7 selected Banks, they highlighted more than her fame:
As a “renaissance woman”, Banks brings authenticity—she’s known for roles in The Hunger Games, Pitch Perfect, and more, plus her work behind the camera.
The brand says she “embodies what No7 stands for”—embracing evolving skin and encouraging realistic beauty.
As their first U.S.-based celebrity ambassador, she helps elevate brand awareness across major retailers including Walgreens, Ulta, Target, Walmart, and Amazon.
What Elizabeth Banks says about the campaign
Banks has been vocal about her connection to the brand and skincare authenticity:
“When I start thinking about messing with my face, it’s because my self‑esteem is a little lower… When I’m exercising and eating well… that’s when I think I look and feel amazing.”
In an Instagram/TikTok video, Banks said: “I’m super excited to be partnering with @No7USA! Science backed…”—emphasizing her support for the brand’s research-driven approach.
The ingredients: science meets solution
No7’s Future Renew and Derm Solutions lines feature peptides, retinol, and SPF—formulas grounded in anti-aging science. The Derm Solutions spot specifically focuses on breaking the “damage–repair cycle” in skincare—a holistic health approach.
Audience response: what people are saying
The addition of a high-profile celebrity drew attention:
People.com reported she chose No7 because she “makes her living with her face,” yet remains grateful for aging naturally.
Byrdie shared insights on her skin regimen and love for Future Renew products, with Banks openly discussing acne and hydration.
Fans on TikTok and Instagram praised her relatability:
“Discover Elizabeth Banks as the No7 commercial actress promoting the Future Renew Day Cream for a No Regrets skincare journey!”

Behind the scenes: making the ad work
A LinkedIn post by ad designer Sophie Heath outlines the high-end production:
Developed with The Pharm agency and director Amy Becker‑Burnett.
The campaign included SFX, CGI, print and digital extension.
Airing across TV, socials, and retail activations.
Their goal: present a visually rich, aspirational, yet authentic campaign.
What this means for No7—and for Banks
For No7:
A bold statement in the competitive skincare landscape—positioning against prestige brands.
A bridge to major U.S. retail channels with a recognizable face.
Refreshing the brand image with “science-backed confidence” messaging.
For Elizabeth Banks:
Solidifying her status as a beauty influencer, in addition to acting and directing.
Partnering with a UK-born skincare brand breaks new ground in her career.
Continues alignment with messages of aging gracefully and self-care.
Final take: the new face of No7 is here to stay
In short:
The new No7 commercial actress is Elizabeth Banks, now the first U.S. ambassador for the brand.
She combines celebrity clout with authenticity, values science-backed skincare, and brings star power to future product campaigns.
Her participation signals No7’s commitment to mature audiences, scientific innovation, and mainstream accessibility.
With this campaign, No7 has found the perfect voice and face for their “Future Renew” message—someone who’s equally comfortable under studio lights or behind the camera. And as audiences continue to see her in ads, it’s clear: the pretty lady in the No7 spot is far more than a model—she’s a multi-hyphenate talent with a message worth listening to.
